Course summary

French remains one of the most important and widely spoken languages in the world and, along with English, is the only language spoken on all five continents. French is the language of peace, diplomacy, culture and romance. Having only one language is not enough and you will increase your career prospects by speaking French. French is a cultural journey into the worlds of fashion, the arts, gastronomy, architecture and science. France is still the world’s number one tourist destination and you can practise your French from skiing in the Alps to sunbathing on the Côte d’Azur. French is both a working language and an official language of the United Nations, the European Union, UNESCO, NATO, the International Olympic Committee, the International Red Cross and international courts. Proficiency in French is essential for anyone considering a career in any international organisation. Students wanting to study French should have a grade 7-9 at GCSE level, have strong communication skills both written and spoken, and want to learn about current and social affairs.
